Good afternoon,

my first EV was a 2013 Volt, which I imported to Austria. After that, I tried a BMW I3 REX, but the range extender is not really developed for long distance rides. So I ended up with my next Chevy Volt a 2017, which is right now in Austria and on it´s way to get licensed. The Volt is not available in Europe - what a shame. It is the best car I ever had.

BUT: before this can be done, I need to know the lumen for the led low beam headlight.
There is a regulation, which needs a level automatic, if the light emission exceeds 2000 lumen.
I tried to chat with a GM agent, but they have no knowledge about lumen or can access any information about.
I tried to email GM with that request, but all I got was an email subscribtion to the newsletters, but no answer.
And I have no idea where to get this information - can anybody help me out on this??
Some technical data sheet on the front lights, I googled for days inside the internet without success.

The turning lights have to look (also) sideways, which was the easier way to cover and the system allowed to
add the two led lights.

Well, we will see, what other regulations will act as a trap.

Thank you to everyone, who is willing and trying to help.

Thomas

The 2017 owner's manual may have what you need.

If it does not have what you need, you might have luck speaking with a GM electric vehicle advisor

Or, there is a Chevy Customer Service rep on this forum and she may be able to help.

Good luck.

Do you need a yellow turn signal light in the back ?...The USA Volt is red. I heard you have to use the mirror blinking light, since the control module of the European and American are different and control turning lights !!!.

?..yellow turn signal light in the back ?...The USA Volt is red.

The Gen II has amber rear turn signals.

Unlike the Gen1, with its mirror signals, the Gen2 Volt was not designed to be sold outside North America. I think the OP will have to engineer some kind of repeater light visible from the side. Another thing that might be necessary is a rear fog light, which the Gen1 had in a modification of the backup light. The mirrors themselves might also be to a different spec.

The replacement bulbs being sold for the 2017 are 2000 lumen for the low, at least the ones I could find advertise. They of course are not original parts. But that would be the easy fix. As for mirrors and signal lights there most likely need to be modified.
